Cold Oven Pound Cake

I totally jumped on this bandwagon, about 3 months after the wagon left the station. Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country were running a series of cooking challenges related to old-style cooking. As a collector of old cookbooks (and the study of how much less sugar ingredients used to use), I was intrigued! This was one of their summer 2012 challenges.

This cake turns out beautifully! Of course, most cakes with 1 1/2 c of fat in them often turn out beautifully.....
